Swift is an innovative new programming language for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Writing code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and apps run lightning-fast. Swift is ready for your next iOS and OS X project — or for addition into your current app — because Swift code works side-by-side with Objective-C.

Before we start this tutorial, make sure you already setup your machine (mac) with these tools:

Xcode 7.3.1 – https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/

Open Xcode and select Create a new Xcode project.

Welcome to Xcode

Install CocoaPods using terminal. What is CocoaPods?

CocoaPods manages library dependencies for your Xcode projects.

The dependencies for your projects are specified in a single text file called a Podfile. CocoaPods will resolve dependencies between libraries, fetch the resulting source code, then link it together in an Xcode workspace to build your project.

Ultimately the goal is to improve discoverability of, and engagement in, third party open-source libraries by creating a more centralised ecosystem.

Select the Table View Controller again and in the menu go to Editor > Embed In >Navigation Controller. This adds a Navigation Controller to the storyboard with an initial scene.

Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller

Select the Navigation Item under the Table View Controller, and in the Attributes Inspector type To Do List as the Title.

Navigation Item

From the Object Library, drag a Bar Button Item to the right of the navigation bar on the Table View Controller. Select the Bar Button Item (which has a default value of “Item”) and in the Attributes Inspector, in the Identifier option, choose Add. This will change the button to the add symbol (+).

Select the Table View Controller, press control button and drag to View Controller like image below. We added a segue. Name it MySegue in Show the Attributes Inspector > Identifier.
